Suzuki, which is continuing the development of its 4-cylinder prototype (online!) Currently in Barcelona with Randy de Puniet, has just announced that its return to MotoGP has been postponed to 2015 instead of 2014.

Originally, the hiatus was only to last two years (read). But Suzuki, which is currently testing its prototype on the Catalunya circuit to measure it against its future opponents, has just signaled that its return to MotoGP will be postponed by one year..

Site readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more fortunate than the others – will be only half surprised by this decision: unlike the "new" participants, the Dorna was exposed to a such a reaction from Suz ‘.

"By carrying out various tests in Japan and Europe, Suzuki Motor Corporation is preparing to resume competition in MotoGP from 2015," said the Hamamatsu firm succinctly this morning. Another great information from this official Suzuki press release confirms the engine architecture of its prototype: a 4-cylinder in-line, and not in V like the late GSV-R.

Thus, "Suzuki Motor Corporation will use the development of its advanced technologies in MotoGP to ensure the evolution and attractiveness of its production models", assure the Japanese. The first beneficiaries of this work will of course be the GSX-R 1000, 750 and 600.

Our only representative in the premier category, Randy de Puniet, also intends to take advantage of this delayed but reaffirmed program: after being himself, the famous n ° 14 has been officially confirmed..

Led by team manager Davide Brivio, Randy will drive the GS "?" – R during the "tests in Europe for 2013", specifies Suzuki. Business to follow, on Site of course: stay connected !
